NEW DELHI: The resentment in the bureaucracy over the controversial suspension of IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal has escalated into an extraordinary nationwide protest. On Thursday, thousands of officers belonging to the Central services came out against the unfair treatment meted out to a young, honest bureaucrat who had dared to take on the sand mining mafia.

In a petition to the department of personnel and training (DoPT), the officers, under the banner of Central Civil & Administrative Officers Association, demanded that the Central government should immediately intervene and direct the UP government to revoke Durga's suspension. If the state government didn't do so, the officers said the Centre should use its authority to revoke the suspension.

They also demanded adequate safeguards in the All India Services (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1969, regarding suspension so that no irreparable loss and injustice is caused to officers, "which is sine-qua-non to maintain uprightness, honesty and integrity of the members of the (IAS) service and last but not the least the morale of the members of the service to serve the public at large following the law of the land."
